Nina

"A wolf?" he asked, shooting me a quizzical look. "I sent a bird shifter as a spy. Not a wolf."

The moment my father dropped that revelation on me, it felt as though the world was tilting beneath my feet. I thought back to the intense chase Luke and I had had earlier, the way the wolf seemed to be luring us, leading us on... And then I thought back to the wolf that had caused Jessica's accident, and how it had almost killed her.

If it wasn't my dad's spy, then who the hell was it?

"Wait," I said, passing my hand over my weary face, "say that again. You said you sent a... bird shifter?"

"Yes," my father replied tentatively. "A shifter with a bird form rather than a wolf one."

"Nina, are you sure this wolf you saw was a shifter, and not just a regular wolf?"

I scoffed, throwing my hands up in the air. "Mom, it led us on a wild goose chase," I said. "It caused Jessica's car accident, too. It has to be a shifter."

A heavy silence fell over the room at that point. My brother, who had been standing off to the side, shifted uncomfortably where he stood. It was clear to me then that my parents had likely brought him along just to make me more likely to go back with them.

I was just about to open my mouth to tell them to leave, however, when the sound of the front door opening suddenly filled the silence. We all spun around, surprised by the sudden entrance. A moment later, Enzo slowly walked into the room with his hockey bag slung over his shoulder.

When he saw us all standing there, he stopped in his tracks. The hockey bag slipped from his shoulder and fell onto the floor with a thud, and then the room was silent once more.
